• V-TWIN ENGINE DELIVERS SMOOTH OPERATION AND PLENTY OF POWER: Powered by an air-cooled, vertical-shaft engine.
• A FABRICATED FLOATING MOWER DECK DELIVERS HIGH-QUALITY CUT: John Deere commercial mower decks have always demonstrated quality, performance, and durability. Each commercial walk-behind mower is equipped with a high-quality fabricated mower deck. 10-gauge, 0.135-in. (3.42-mm) fabricated steel deck top with added 10-gauge, 0.135-in. (3.42-mm) spindle mounting plate. 7-gauge, 0.19-in. (4.8-mm) side skirts with reinforcement bar. The fabricated, floating mower deck delivers an extremely high-quality cut in diverse conditions. Floating suspension enables the best possible cut. Reinforced front lower edge provides strength and durability. Four mower front wheels are double-captured for durability and adjustable to three positions to suit the cut height. Two-coat paint covering protects the mower deck and resists corrosion. Deep-deck design for superior capacity. Side and center anti-scalp wheels promote a smooth mowing job.
• CONVENIENT CONTROLS FOR OPERATOR COMFORT AND PRODUCTIVITY: All of the controls are located within comfortable reach of the operator. Simplified operation of each control offers superior convenience, productivity, and safety. Color-coded and clearly marked levers, switches, and buttons enable simplified operation. Bilingual decals in English and Spanish are provided. The operator presence system requires that one of the bails must be depressed to operate the unit; the machine must be in neutral and the power take-off (PTO) must be disengaged to start. Operator presence control levers are recessed into control handle when engaged, provides a smooth contour and comfortable handle to hold during operation. Separate choke and throttle – This takes the guesswork out of choke operation, with less chance of fowling the spark plugs. Electric PTO clutch on the engine powers the mower deck. The PTO switch on the dash is easy to see and use.
• SERVICEABILITY FEATURES AND BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY MAXIMIZE UPTIME: John Deere warranty includes: Single source. Commercial application. All parts, except tires and batteries (which are warranted under separate documents provided with each product), are warranted.
• COMPACT DESIGN WITH A STRONG, WELDED FRAME FOR SUPERIOR DURABILITY: From the operator's station to the mower deck, John Deere walk-behind mowers have a compact and functional design. Caster wheels are set in as close to the mower as possible. Shortest overall machine length to maximize maneuverability and minimize space needed on a trailer. The compact design of John Deere commercial walk-behind mowers allows access to operate in tight areas where larger ride-on machines cannot fit. Often, this means the area can be mowed with a walk-behind mower so it is not necessary to switch to another mower, which helps reduce the time on site. With the compact design of John Deere commercial walk-behind mowers, less space is required on a truck or trailer, possibly freeing up space for an extra mower, resulting in less time on property, saving both time and money.
• SELF-PROPELLED DRIVE SYSTEM GIVES INFINITE MOWING SPEEDS: W36R, W48R, W52R, and W61R Mowers are equipped with an infinitely variable hydrostatic drive system with reverse, which does the following: Provides infinite ground-speed adjustments from 0 mph to 7.5 mph (0 km/h to 12.1 km/h) to meet the mowing application. Enables a smoother transition from one speed to another. Gives a reverse speed of 3 mph (4.8 km/h), enabling the operator to back out of tight mowing areas and increase productivity.
• THOUGHTFUL DESIGNS PROMOTE SAFE OPERATION: Safety features are designed into M and R Series commercial walk-behind mowers. Before the engine will start, the transmission speed control lever must be locked in neutral, the parking brake set, the power take-off (PTO) disengaged, and the key switch turned to the on position. Left- and right-hand speed/direction control levers are locked in neutral by spring-loaded knobs on the end of control handles. The knob has a finger lever, making it easy to move to the locked position while holding the control lever in the neutral position. The locking knob is spring loaded for easy release of the control levers. Separate choke and throttle – this takes the guesswork out of choke operation, and there is less chance of fouling the spark plugs. Color-coded and clearly marked switches and buttons are easy to find.
